We were a little worried about how muddy the roads might be when we left Salt Lake. It had rained a lot the previous few days, but luckily the roads (even the side roads) were fairly dry. We found the North (Davis Mountain) herd just East of Davis Mountain. After photographing them for a couple of yours we left to find the South herd. This might have been one of the very few trips when the South herd was not in the flats. In fact, we never did find them. Sunset was quickly approaching so we drove as fast as we dared to get back the the North herd before sunset. With only a few minutes to spare we were able to get some stunning photographs of these magnificent wild horses just at sunset. Another fantastic trip to photograph these stunning wild horses.
Some great shots there Greig. It was interesting to see so many of them lying down. Close ups were stunning and touching.
Thank you so much Bruce. In winter I think they spend a lot of time just eating and resting to conserve energy. I’ll be posting an update on The Ghost soon, as soon as I can bring myself to write about it.
These photos are stunning! I pray that the serenity and balance between the herd and the gorgeous land can remain over time. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for you kind words. Unfortunately the serenity and balance has been completely upset by the BLM. I’m still not in a frame of mind to discuss it but I will be posting details as soon as I can bring myself to write about it….
Gorgeous photos of America’s most beautiful animals.
